After ten years of peace, the major river engineering case was settled.
The Shen family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was convicted. Shen Yun, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, received a cold imperial edict on the way to be demoted, and was granted a marriage to Xiao Huai, the regent of Nanzhou.
The young general who once dominated the battlefield is now trapped in a wheelchair. The marriage granted by a paper was originally the emperor's calculation. Unexpectedly, within the high-walled vassal mansion, two lonely hearts slowly approached each other.
Xiao Huai got a glimpse of the truth behind the river workers' corruption case from the old papers left by Shen's father. He chose to remain silent and pursue the undercurrent alone.
But the joy was short-lived when the news of the destruction of the Shen family came. Old cases are being resurrected, the prince is framed, the emperor acquiesces, and the secret story of the queen mother tampering with the imperial edict is revealed layer by layer.
For the sake of blood feud and the fate of the overthrown old dynasty, they side by side wielded a sharp blade towards the supreme imperial power.
Intention: self-reliance
